When Are The Best Times Of The Day To Eat Protein?

While just reaching your ideal daily intake is always the most important part of a high protein diet, there are certain times of the day when it would be extra beneficial to eat high protein foods.

These times are:

Your first meal of the day (since you haven’t eaten for hours). At night before bed (so there’s protein in you over night when your body is repairing/recovering). In the meal you eat before your workout (your “pre workout meal”). In the meal you eat immediately after your workout (your “post workout meal”).

Your pre and post workout meals are DEFINITELY the most important of all, so be sure you’re eating some sort of protein at those times. I explain why, how much, and the best possible sources in my article about Post Workout Meal Nutrition.
